Phantom Menace: Redux

I know I posted on this a few weeks ago, but here is a link to today’s Clean Break column in the Toronto Star about phantom loads in the home. My previous post on this issue was based on a CNET News.com article. My column takes this a bit further, adding a Canadian spin and some information from Natural Resources Canada.

If you want to listen to this via podcast, click here — you’ll find a link on the podcasting section of the Toronto Star’s site.

Check first with your local distribution contractor, (Toronto Hydro, Woodstock Hydro, Powerstream, etc) before you purchase one, as they may have one of these available on loan as part of their Conservation and Demand Management Plan’s programs. Usually they make them available by loan from a library.
